Detailed explanation-1: -In the opening scene at Dunsinane Castle, Macbeth has no patience for his servant. He says, “Go prick thy face and over-red thy fear. / Thou lily-livered boy.” What does his treatment of the servant tell you about how Macbeth’s character has changed? He has grown brutal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The opening scene of Macbeth not only introduces the audience to the supernatural element that will be carried throughout the play, but it also establishes a theme of disorder through the presence of the witches, the stormy weather, and the bleak landscape.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interestingly, Macbeth’s first line in the play is “So foul and fair a day I have not seen” (1.3.36).
Detailed explanation-4: -Even before the servant has a chance to speak, Macbeth shouts, “The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon! / Where got’st thou that goose look?” (5.3. 11-12). The servant is only a boy, and he is pale with fear, which enrages Macbeth.
